Reviews mention

  • Sophisticated, natural-leaning fragrances
  • Clean, cruelty-free formulations
  • Comfortable, smooth application
  • Non-stripping, lathery body washes
  • Inconsistent odor protection
  • White residue and staining
  • Gritty, sticky deodorant texture
  • Can cause underarm irritation

Native earns praise in reviews for clean ingredients, refined scents (Coconut & Vanilla, Eucalyptus & Mint, Lilac & White Tea) and comfortable, non-irritating wear for many, but effectiveness is inconsistent: several reviewers report odor breakthrough, frequent reapplication, staining, and texture issues. Reviews note body wash and haircare smell fresh and lather well, while deodorant can underperform in heat or workouts and sometimes causes rashes or gritty residue.

  • I like the mission and concept, but the products are mediocre and a bit overpriced in my opinion. I so desperately wanted to love the deodorant, especially being aluminum free, but it is hard as a rock and does not glide on well, and I had a reaction from it where I was constantly itchy. Some of their body washes smell good, but I'm not a fan of the cap on the bottle, as it's so hard to open when in the shower

  • Bought their deodorant cream and had an awful experience. It is ineffective and gives burns if you apply it and go out immediately. Not to mention don't understand how it is different than my moisturiser.

  • I like their body wash but their deodorant turns my white shirts underarm area yellow. I will not use the deodorant any longer but will continue to use the body wash. I do think the body wash causes my teenage daughter to get acne-like bumps on her arms though so maybe not for sensitive skin?

  • Love everything about this product. EVEEEEERY THING!!!🄰.It makes you ferl amazingly clean all over. Product sells ut self love the shower wash , Deodorant . And toothpaste.

  • Funky chemical smell once wet. Smelled great in the bottle but got very wierd once the product was wet. Hard to rinse off as well.

  • Never white sunblock despite the high spf and mineral content. I’ve recommended to several people. Love that it is good for kids and me, and no scent.

  • I have been using Native forever, I love the scents and the ingredients are easy on my skin. It doesn't do much for perspiration but at least I smell good.

  • I absolutely love native brand. I love anything they make. I am always left feeling clean and fresh. I love the vanilla scent the most.

  • Great options for scents but the deo ain’t deoing unfortunately lol it does not mask whatsoever but thumbs up on the ingredients

  • This product has turned my frizzy, dull hair into something I love. The shine is unbelievable, and the shedding has reduced so much. The new growth I’ve noticed makes me even more excited to keep using it!

  • I switched to Native shower gel & lotions after a friend introduced them to me. I particularly appreciate how easy the label is to read and the quality products used to create daily hygiene products. They have some great scent options & their products leave you feeling fresh and clean.

  • Not all natural has preservatives

    Wanted to try but see the body wash has preservatives in it ?? Sodium Benzoate a preservative has been proven to be a cancer causing. They are not being honest on the bottle trying to pass it off as table salt, which is Sodium Chloride.

  • I used native deodorant for a little while hoping that it would work for me. However, I honestly felt like I smelled worse after using it. I gave it a shot for about a month to see if my body would adjust, but it just didn’t work for me

  • Native Deodorant is a total win for me! The natural ingredients give me peace of mind, and the scents are amazing—my favorite is Coconut & Vanilla. It keeps me feeling fresh all day without irritation. My only wish? A slightly longer-lasting formula for extra-hot days. Overall, highly recommend!

  • I use the Native paper-free deodorant and it's worked well for me the past couple years. I like the coconut & vanilla and the aloe & green tea scents. I usually stock up when they're on sale or purchase them direct from their website (if you buy 3 products, they give you a 20% discount and free shipping.) I'm not a super sweaty person and I live in a mild climate. I also use charcoal soap or antibacterial soap on my pits to keep body odor down. (When I went on a trip somewhere tropical where it was 90+ degrees everyday... this deodorant did not hold up and I was definitely smelly by the end of the day.)

  • Great smelling products that leave my skin feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. I feel good about my purchasing power when I buy Native products.

  • I bought the shampoo, conditioner and body wash. I love all of it! The shampoo and conditioner makes my hair nice and soft and smelly good!! The body wash smells good and leaves me feeling clean and smells very good

  • I was so glad to rediscover that Native still has non toxic products. Their holiday scents and Coconut Vanilla shampoo and conditioner are some of my personal favorites. I love their minis (wish they had more scents as minis) and love their body wash!

    None
  • I used Native deodorant stick. Although I was glad it was all natural ingredients, it didn't work for me. I usually use clinical strength deodorant

    None of the above
  • I have thyroid and hormone issues so I always am looking for non toxic products that work and I can say that this is my go to deodorant. I love the coconut vanilla scent. I do have to keep the mini in my purse in case I need to reapply but I do like it a lot.
